A late Series 1 1.9TD SX spotted in Olney today during my bike ride... Xantias are now getting very rare in the wild...
It looks very tidy and well maintained...

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Didn't get a piccy but on Friday in a different town, my Fred formed a mini convoy with another silver xantia. Also saw a dark blue one.
There's still a green one and a silver that I see regularly in my local town.
I'm going to start beep beeping and waving!

Oh and there are still AXs around, mostly white like my Gwin.

I was in Woking today (work related), and this caught my attention.

James just out of curiosity is that the retail car park that has Pets at Home, forget the name of it.

Yes that's the one sad i know but recognised the layout for the goods inwards to the left in your picture, was there on Tuesday to collect a 20' storage container.
Darn good picture of a cracking car out in the wild

I spotted a red Citroen AX Debut K reg on the M25, clockwise, between J18 and J19 (exiting at J19).

In today's news on the Beeb, that looks suspiciously like one of those Citroen SM things.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I think you will find the white car is a Jensen Interceptor second from front and a cheeky Mkiii Cortina poking it's nose out further back. The next white car could be a Mk10 Jag and the first car might be a Granada Coupe but it is not easy to get the rear window shape. The third white car is proving difficult to identify. Currently going down the Bentley route.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Other options for third car could be Ford Zodiac - trying to chase down the front window shape.
Idle hands and all that.

Probably pushing it now but the Yellow vehicle between the buses looks like a Ford 105E van (GPO?).

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Bit late.....about 11am ish. Sunday 29 Jan heading from Lincs to Milton Keynes so somewhere south of Peterborough on the A/M1 or south of Bedford on the A421. My son spotted it before me! I caught the rear end. We were in my Mauritius blue X2 Xantia and I believe this one was the same colour. We were in the left lane having just overtook a broken down car in the left lane and it was in the fast lane. Didn't see more than that! First I've seen on the road whilst I've owned this one.
